The Code Trip is Coming!

Jason Mauer and his band of misfits, I mean, team members are going to be traveling around in a tour bus, spreading MS developer goodness along their path. They're starting off at Mix08 in Vegas next week (March 6th). Then they start wandering around the western United States. They'll be in Olympia on April 14th. They'll be here and we don't know where yet, we need to find a room! Our InstallFest 2008 venue is not available.

Do you know of a place we can fit around 150 people, from 6-10pm, with a projection screen (we've got the projector) and a bunch of seats? Free or at least not too expensive?

if you do, let me know and I'll reward you with something... do you like Girl Scout cookies?

The Obama video ... Yes We Can

Wendy turned me on to this video of music and song set to Obama's 'Yes We Can' speech after seeing a link to it on Bitch P.D. It's hosted on Dipdive.com with a story from will.i.am on how it came to be. It's pretty amazingly smooth and professional for the short amount of time it took to put it together. Here's a link to the transcript of that speech, if you missed it like I did: Yes We Can Change on CNN.

For the last few rounds of presidential elections after Bill Clinton, I've been looking a candidate to vote for, rather than desperately voting against the Republicans. Obama is the guy I want to vote for. If it comes down to it, I'll vote for the Democratic candidate against the Republican, but I'd rather vote for the guy who is inspiring, who's stirring up hope, who represents actual change, the guy who, to me, seems to have a passion for the job he's asking us to give him.
